So when do you ?
 
Now that summer is almost here and daylight savings time just around the corner when do you dust off the car and put her on the road ?

Anytime the sun is shining?

March?

April?

May?

NickGT 03-02-2009 06:11 PM

Soon hopefully! Probably late March tho..

If the roads are dry, let her fly!

Thats how I roll anyway. :biggrin:

06GTPONY 03-02-2009 06:22 PM

Generally mid-April.
But if the roads are salt-free sooner, I may take her out end of March.

WUZNME 03-02-2009 07:58 PM

May 1st for me. I have some mods to complete before it comes out.

Mach1Guy 03-02-2009 07:59 PM

I'm ready now LOL
Usually wait till all the run off from the snow banks had stopped. Need a couple good rains. Usually the end of April is average but some years its sooner :)

herbz 03-02-2009 08:50 PM

Ours wasn't brought home from the dealer until the streets were clear on March 29th last year, drove it home, put it in the garage and it snowed a foot that night it didn't come out again till mid-April. Hoping for early April this year but its Alberta, anything could happen weather wise.

tear u a new 1 03-02-2009 10:09 PM

as soon as the roads are clear , she will be on the street snake hunting...... theres a few mouths here in alberta that need an ass whoopin ,lmao

Not4you 03-02-2009 10:38 PM

where I store I get blocked in so I have to wait until people leave and I have a clear path out. usually takes a few weekends to empty out so I'm in there usually until early May.

Stang Illusions 5.0L 03-02-2009 10:47 PM

May 1st every year, no snow, no salt, no BS!

roddy 03-03-2009 01:30 AM

As soon as the salt is washed off the roads by a few good rains.

Big House 03-03-2009 06:32 AM

Took mine out yesterday for a wash, and wax. Now its raining and they are calling for 15cm of snow. She will sit in the garage all clean and nice for a while yet.

Look out the window, it's snowing:banghead:

SNAKEBITE 03-03-2009 07:12 AM

I technically have it out (insured) all year but it does not leave the garage until mid April :wiggle:

mikeGT350 03-03-2009 07:18 AM

im the samemid may or so I like to see the street sweepers out first then I take my car out

Stang6589 03-03-2009 07:39 AM

May 1st for me too. Just because the snow is gone does not mean the salt is gone.

MMike 03-04-2009 01:39 PM

Well today was the day! Sun was shining, roads were relatively dry so i took the car for a little spin today. Damn it felt good, but almost guilty because of the sand and remnants of road salt left on the road. C'mon Spring

Crafty 03-04-2009 02:09 PM

nice :tup i think we need to start a spring pics thread. everyone takes a few when they bring out thier toys :)

:gotpics:

nlstang 03-04-2009 02:23 PM

I am hoping early may but this is Newfoundland so it's really mother natures decision

Matt D 03-05-2009 08:58 PM

may for me :)

I want roads washed with rain, no snow on grass... and of course warm weather lol not just durring the day but decent temps at night because thats when the car comes out

TOPLSFOX 03-05-2009 11:16 PM

I usually bring mine out in April,... but I had it out once a couple of weeks ago on that nice weekend after all the rain.

mikelx 03-06-2009 07:52 PM

Usally by May 24 long week-end it's game on...

MMike 03-06-2009 10:11 PM

Damn weather so nice again today I actually took it for a spin to downtown TO.
It was Goooood.:tup.

Looks like new rims and tires are coming my via UPS! Woot!

Ray Spencer 03-28-2009 10:16 AM

Normally mid April by then the snow is usually gone. I usually go a pothole run in the 4x4 to check the streets before I take the mustang out in the city. Edmonton is pothole city.

1low03gt 03-28-2009 10:30 AM

My GT is insured to drive again starting mid April,but i will wait to see what the roads are like before i drive her.

SNAKEBITE 03-28-2009 09:16 PM

Ah crap another 10-20 cm of snow tonight. Oh well more polish tomorrow:biggrin:Mar 29th

MMike 03-29-2009 08:41 AM

Another fine Saturday around here which led to a nice little drive and then about 4 hours of detailing. Wash, Clay bar and wax, spitshine the rims, armour all, etc...damn now its looks like its gonna sit for a another week or so.

RYSSBAY 03-29-2009 04:23 PM

I was ready to take mine out...
The salt was gone
Barely any snow left to be seen
It was all detailed and ready to go...
2 days later...75CM of snow from one storm (March 23)
So it will be at least the 2nd week of April for me as the next 2 days are calling for sleet and snow...Then I will have to wait for a few more rains to clean everything up again!!!
I HATE WINTER!!!

MMike 03-29-2009 08:40 PM

I actually would have been thrilled with all that snow; it would have meant one last rip on the sled instead of the stang! :tup
